Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

frosja888 [35]

I would say b. The band played songs for the crowd with guitars. it sounds very awkward because "with guitars" should be placed after " the band played songs" and a comma placed after "the band played songs".

so this is what it should look like

The band played songs, with guitars, for the crowd

Hope it helps!

Why is montag a hero in faranheit 451

ch4aika [34]

Montag transforms from blind civil servant - the "fireman" who operates blindly to the directions of society to as individual who's every action is an act of civil disobedience. The act of possessing a book, taking a book from a fire, talking to the professor, reading the books and fleeing the city made him a criminal. The reader sees these acts as heroic because he is finding his "humanity". It is the act of disobedience and turning away from the societal norms -- finding something valuable in the pages of something forbidden that makes him a hero.Montag does not see himself as heroic but in memorizing the book of Ecclesiastes so as to save a piece of the past for future generations is brave and heroic act.

List and explain the positive and negative qualities seen in Lady Macbeth

Sindrei [870]

There are many sides to Lady Macbeth, and although there are many more negative than positive qualities, I will try to list some of them nevertheless.
Negative: she is ruthless, and stops at nothing to achieve her goals. She wants her husband to become king, and isn't afraid to be an accomplice in a murder to get what she wants. She is manipulative, constantly controlling her husband to do what she wants him to do.
Positive: I'd say that in the end, one of her positive qualities is her guilt - she feels guilty for all the murders she took part in, which shows that she is human after all, with conscience. I guess that her ambition could be both a positive and negative quality, because she is very strong and powerful.
